Fee Free Days at Big South Fork NRRA

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Earlier in the year Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced that the National Park Service will once again offer fee free days this year in order to encourage Americans to visit these national treasures.

National Park Service sites across the country that charge fees for entry will waive these entrance fees on November 11-13 in recognition of the Veterans Day weekend. Parks that do not charge entrance fees have the discretion to waive other types of fees on these days. Niki Nicholas, Superintendent of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, has authorized fee waivers for the Alum Ford Campground and backcountry camping permits during the Veterans Day weekend (November 11-13). Everyone is encouraged to visit the Big South Fork and take advantage of these special days.

For more information, call the Bandy Creek Visitor Center at (423) 286-7275.
